Fig. 4: Possible signs of wear on chain drive components
Chain ring and sprocket
If the teeth on the chain ring and/or sprocket are worn due to material abrasion, movement
of the chain over the corresponding gear wheel is not as reliable and it can easily slip off.
Chain and chain links
If the chain links are worn due to material abrasion, the free openings between them, that
interlock with the teeth, widen. As a result, movement of the chain over the corresponding
gear wheel is not as reliable and it can easily slip off. You may also have the impression that
the chain has stretched.
Check the chain rings, sprockets and chain regularly for signs of wear.
• Contact your specialist dealer to have worn chain rings or sprockets replaced.
• If you have the impression that the chain has stretched or you notice signs of wear on
the chain links, contact your specialist dealer to have the chain adjusted correctly or
replaced.
19.3 Cleaning and care
Keep all chain drive components free of dirt and clean the components regularly to ensure
your chain drive continues to function correctly.
• Clean the chain using a clean cloth with a dab of oil applied, if required.
• If necessary, clean the gear wheels with a soft brush.
• Lubricate the chain with multi-purpose oil:
-
after you have cleaned the chain,
-
if the chain has become (excessively) wet,
-
at regular intervals, after approximately 15 hours of use.
• If the dirt on certain chain drive components is more difficult to remove or you notice
that the chain drive components are damaged, contact your specialist dealer.
